AceShowbiz - Although "Country Strong" will only be released early next year, Screen Gems chooses to drop the first trailer this week. The drama is %cGwyneth Paltrow%'s latest pic which requires her singing skill. She previously appeared in 2000 musical film "Duets".

Paltrow stars as Kelly Canter, a country music superstar embarking on a comeback tour after a stint in rehab. %cGarrett Hedlund% plays Beau Williams, a young rising singer-songwriter who becomes involved with the fallen country singer. Meanwhile, Canter's husband, played by %cTim McGraw%, signs %cLeighton Meester%'s Chiles Stanton as her opening act instead of Williams who actually cares about Canter as a person.
